My squatters -- the birds!

Some weeks ago I posted my front porch redo...well, I had barely gotten everything in place before one of my repainted birdhouses was occupied. NOW WE HAVE BABY BIRDS!! We have to be careful not to spend too much time out there because Mamma gets very upset with us. Also notice second photo where hanging basket with petunias has been almost destroyed! I always hang 2 baskets but the birds only nest in the first one..??? There is no nest because they could not get all the way down to the dirt through the petunias so I guess they went for the house instead. If I replace the pot, they will just go after it again!

    All the yellow is a fun punch of color with the brick!

    You used the colors of my home. I added some minty green for the covered patio and a dark pink for the doors. Worked great. Got the colors from a silk scarf I bought.

    No, I am located just north of the Perimeter (285) in the new City of Dunwoody. We have been in our house almost 42 years! But I know where Church St. is...in Decatur...some 15 or so miles southeast of me. That area is where our County Court House is located so we have to go down there for all county business.

    To keep unwanted birds from your hanging baskets, cut wire hangers and put several of the u's upside down in your pots. It has kept the morning doves out of mineI
